I have looked at some options, Up to and including pulling a "vTuber" angle and using a mapper to map my face and motions to a "realistic enough" looking avatar. But in my line of work body language and other things are important enough I like having real video rolling. Right now it's fine...

Yeah... pass a certain age and that "check engine" light comes on. Very often in the knees.
